The compounds BiVO4, Bi4V2O11, and Bi12V2O23 have been prepared by solid-state synthesis using stoichiometric mixtures of Bi2O3 and V2O5. The effect of temperature on the heat capacity of the synthesized bismuth vanadates has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry in the range 350–950 K. The Cp(T) curves have extrema at 531.7 K for BiVO4 and at 725.2 and 852.8 K for Bi4V2O11, which are due to polymorphic transformations of these compounds.
